Australian Alyssa Healy: India batter Smriti Mandhana has moved closer to the top spot in both the T20I and ODI batting rankings as the left-hander sits in second place in both categories after strong performances against the West Indies across the formats.

As per the latest rankings update shared by the ICC on Tuesday, Mandhana's ODI rating of 739 is only bettered by South Africa's Laura Wolvaardt's 773, and her T20I rating of 753 is narrowly shaved by her Australian counterpart Beth Mooney's 757.

Mandhana, 28, moved up to No. 2 after registering the scores of 62 off 41 and 77 off 47 in the two T20Is for the week. This completes a trifecta of half-centuries against Hayley Matthews' team in as many games. In the first ODI in Vadodara, she scored 91 off 102, as she now boasts a 50-plus score in her last five innings in international action.
